I'm going into my 2nd week of Phase 1.
My doctor highly recommend the SBD.
Could not be happier. Lost 3lbs. the first week.
Does anyone know why no MSG.

While some people can use MSG with no adverse effects, many others have severe reactions to it, some of them life-threatening. MSG has been linked to asthma, headaches, and heart irregularities. Behavioral and physical problems of children, such as incontinence and seizures, as well as attention deficit disorder (ADD), have been diagnosed and successfully treated as MSG disorders.

Hope this helps.

I thought the SBD reason was because it's made from beets which are high in sugar.

True - it is high GI. I just think we should avoid MSG anyhow.
